Chapter 1 Chapter 1 "I am just a bamboo! I am not tasty! ...
pain.
It hurts so much.
Pain overflowed from the cracks in Biqing's spine. The slight bump increased the pain in her body, causing her brows to furrow into a line.
Am I... still alive?
Biqing was puzzled and tried her best to open her eyes, but her eyelids felt as heavy as if a thousand-pound stone was weighing on them.
She struggled, her long, wing-like eyelashes trembled once, then trembled again, and slowly lifted up.
The overlapping silver-gray gilded collar was reflected in Biqing's eyes, which had barely opened a slit. Looking up along the light gray overlapping collar, she saw the man's angular jaw and lips with a slightly dark color and moderate thickness.
I am still alive...
Biqing let out a long breath, blinked, and tried her best to get rid of the blur in front of her eyes and see the man's face clearly. The bumpy feeling on her body stopped abruptly.
"woke up?"
The man's low voice fell from above Biqing's head, startling her so much that she raised her eyes suddenly and met a pair of golden-blue mandarin duck eyes directly.
The cold gaze was like ice in the coldest days of winter, which frightened Biqing so much that her body tensed up and she subconsciously touched the magic weapon tied around her waist.
But as soon as she moved her fingers, the pain immediately spread from her fingertips to her whole body. She groaned in pain and broke out in a cold sweat.
A layer of white mist suddenly enveloped her eyes, blurring the man's fierce features. Before Biqing could blink away the unsightly paleness, her consciousness was devoured, and she was plunged into endless darkness.
——
“It smells so good!”
The childish voice, sometimes far away and sometimes near, floated into Biqing's ears, awakening her barely regained consciousness.
Before Biqing could think carefully about who was talking, she felt a wet and hot touch on her cheek.
Biqing was shocked. When she opened her eyes, she saw a little wolf cub in front of her, licking its mouth with its tongue.
"ah!"
Biqing sat up from the gravel ground and let out a short sigh.
In just a moment, Biqing fell back to the ground.
There was an abnormal pain in the back of her spine, as if someone had hit her hard with a sharp object. The pain was so severe that Biqing saw stars and was unable to move.
The little wolf cub was so frightened by Biqing's shout that the hair on the back of his back stood up instantly. He let out a "woof" and ran away.
After running a few steps, he bumped into the leg of a man who came over after hearing the noise.
"Your Majesty..." The little wolf cub said hurriedly with his tail between his legs.
Xuan Yi lowered his eyes: "Didn't I order that no one is allowed to disturb her?"
"This sister smells so good... I... I can't help it..."
The little wolf cub realized that he had done something wrong. He almost buried his head in the gravel and whispered, "Your Majesty... I won't dare to do it again next time..."
Xuan Yi shouted harshly, "Go back! There won't be a next time!"
The little wolf left here like flying.
Xuan Yi glanced at Biqing, who was lying on the ground unable to move, then slowly walked forward and raised his hand to cover Biqing's back.
Blue demonic power flowed out from Xuan Yi's palm and lingered around Bi Qing.
Biqing's consciousness gradually returned as the stabbing pain in her back subsided slightly.
She quietly turned her head and met Xuan Yi's pair of mandarin duck eyes, one gold and one blue.
A chill ran down my spine.
No mortal would have such strange pupils, and he had fallen from heaven.
Biqing's pupils suddenly shrank.
I have fallen into the demon world!
Her bloodless face turned even paler, and the pain that had been suppressed by Xuan Yi's demonic power rose again with her panic.
"This is the demon world."
Xuan Yi's words completely confirmed Bi Qing's guess.
Biqing's breathing became heavy and ragged, causing Xuan Yi to frown.
He paused, then lowered his voice and said, "I saved you, so I won't do anything to you."
"...Thank you." Biqing said politely, but in her heart she didn't believe that the person in front of her would be so kind as to save her.
Biqing had heard a little about the "peace pact" made between the heaven and the demon world back then: the heaven was badly damaged in the battle with the demon world, and was afraid that the demon world would take advantage of it, so the Emperor of Heaven took the initiative and signed a peace pact with the Lord of the demon world. Since then, the two worlds have not interfered with each other.
Non-interference means that you cannot use spiritual power or demonic power in each other's territory.
He temporarily lost his spiritual power and became a god at the mercy of demons.
Biqing endured the pain and managed to stand up, looking over the face of the person in front of her at the dark surroundings.
With the help of Xuan Yi's demonic power, she vaguely saw the surrounding mountains and concluded that she was in a cave.
His eyes fell back on Xuan Yi's face, but quickly moved away in an instant.
The person in front of him had an indifferent yet fierce face, and a pair of dark mandarin duck eyes, making him look like a wolf staring at its prey.
Biqing quietly moved half an inch away.
It's really horrifying.
Xuan Yi's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he stopped healing Bi Qing and stared at her expressionlessly.
Biqing felt uneasy under Xuan Yi's stare. She shrugged and spoke in a hoarse voice, "You, you're looking at me..."
Xuan Yi's nostrils twitched twice, and he said thoughtfully, "It does smell good."
Biqing almost fainted: Didn’t you say you wouldn’t do anything to me?!
"You, you, you! Don't eat me!" Biqing wanted to cry, but she couldn't. "I'm just a bamboo! I'm not tasty!"
“…I won’t eat you.”
Biqing's dry voice made Xuan Yi frown. He moved closer and handed the bone bowl filled with water to Biqing.
Biqing looked at the bowl that looked like it was made from a monster's skull, and quickly looked away, her gaze fixed on Xuan Yi's hand holding the bone bowl, only to see Xuan Yi's long, pointed nails.
Biqing felt a chill of fear.
I am no different from an ordinary person now, and I must not make this big monster in front of me angry.
"Moisten your extremely unpleasant voice."
Xuan Yi reached forward, but when Bi Qing didn't move, he said, "I won't go to great lengths to kill a god without spiritual power."
Meeting Biqing's wary and suspicious eyes, Xuan Yi paused for a moment and placed the bone bowl in her hands: "You slept for four days."
Biqing held the bone bowl and licked her lips when she saw the water in the bowl.
When I raised my head, I saw Xuan Yi's cold eyes.
Biqing lowered her shoulders.
Whether you drink this bowl of water or not is not up to you.
Biqing lamented: Her 1,700-year bamboo life had just begun, and it was about to end like this.
I haven't had time to go to the human world yet...
Just as Biqing was feeling confused, the bone bowl in her hand was taken away by someone.
Xuan Yi took a sip of the water in the bone bowl, and then he handed the other end, which he had never touched, to Biqing.
Biqing watched with her own eyes as Xuan Yi's throat rolled and he swallowed the water in his mouth.
Xuan Yi said calmly, "So, are you relieved?"
Biqing pursed her lips, took the bone bowl, turned the side that Xuanyi had touched towards herself, and drank the water in the bowl silently.
You must always be on guard against others.
Who knows if he does some weird magic tricks around the bowl?
The cool water slid down Biqing's dry throat and into her stomach, relieving the burning pain and discomfort in her throat.
After drinking the water, Biqing carefully handed the bone bowl to Xuanyi and observed his expression.
But she looked for a long time, and Xuan Yi just stared at her with an indifferent expression.
"Do you... have something to say?" Biqing asked wearily.
Xuan Yi had something to ask the person before him, but he hadn't expected Bi Qing to be one step ahead of him. Stunned, he spoke unnaturally, "Are you from the Xiaoxiang clan?"
Biqing nodded: "How do you know?"
"You just said you were a bamboo."
Xuan Yi frowned, "If it's a bamboo from the God Clan, I can't think of another one besides the Xiaoxiang Clan."
"My name is Biqing..."
"You can just call me Xuan Yi."
"Since you know my identity..." Biqing timidly asked, "Could you please not kill me..."
She didn't want to die in the demon world like this.
"It's just a waste of time."
Xuan Yi advised, "Have a good rest." Then he turned and left, leaving Biqing alone.
Bi Qing rubbed his hands together, breathed a sigh of relief, and lay back on the gravel ground to rest his heavy body.
This little life is saved temporarily.
"It's so uncomfortable..." Biqing turned over and lay on her side with her arm as a pillow.
My back still hurts a little, probably from the injury I got when I fell into the demon world, but it’s much better now than when I just woke up.
Biqing didn't quite understand why Xuanyi wanted to save her.
Is it just because he is a god?
When I close my eyes, I see the scene of myself falling from the Chengjingtai in heaven.
He was so focused on admiring the wonders through the cloud cave that Kunpeng had broken through that he didn't notice that he was pushed to the edge of Chengjingtai by the crowd.
Before she could react, there was suddenly a force on her waist.
Her heart skipped a beat.
She didn't even see who did it before she was pushed off Chengjingtai by that hand.
Biqing sighed deeply and said to herself, "If I had known I would come to the demon world, I would have let them rescue me and then make plans."
I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse that I didn’t die after falling from such a high place.
His eyes lingered in the direction Xuan Yi had left: "This is a wolf's den..."
Biqing yawned and raised her hand to touch the hydrangea tied around her waist.
After confirming that her artifact was still there, she stared at the dim cave and muttered to herself, "Those notebooks my aunt left me were truly lies... Who said that immortals would return to the human world after leaving heaven..."
A feeling of fatigue swept over her whole body. Biqing closed her eyes and rested her body which had just recovered from a serious injury.
Half asleep and half awake, Biqing felt an itch on her arm, as if there were small insects crawling on it.
Biqing casually slapped her arm, but felt a burning pain.
Her brows furrowed slightly, and she reluctantly opened her eyes a crack, raising her hand to lift up her green sleeves.
Biqing's sleepiness was instantly dispelled.
She hurriedly lowered her sleeves, subconsciously trying to mobilize her spiritual power to heal herself. She kept her hand on her arm for a while before realizing she was in the demon world, her spiritual power temporarily sealed.
Biqing pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, then got up from the ground and stumbled in the direction Xuan Yi had left.
After walking a few steps, Biqing met a few eyes emitting a faint green light.
It's the wolf demon's eyes.
Every pair of eyes is filled with "bad intentions".
Biqing's hair stood on end and she stood still in fear.
The burning pain in her arm intensified. Biqing recalled the wolf cub's name for Xuan Yi and bravely asked, "I, I'm looking for your king..."
"How can a stranger like you see the king whenever you want?" The woman's hostile voice sounded from the darkness.
"Everyone says that you gods are powerful, but in the end, you still need the king to help you heal your wounds?" An adult male wolf walked out of the darkness and slowly stopped in front of Biqing.
He deliberately bared his fangs: "I want to see what is so extraordinary about you, a member of the God Clan! It is worth the king to expend his demonic power to save you!"
"What are you arguing about?"
Another adult male wolf had circled behind Biqing at some point and said disdainfully, "It doesn't smell very good, but it looks delicate and tender."
He walked around to Biqing, a few drops of saliva hanging from the corners of his mouth: "It shouldn't be too difficult to eat."
Biqing covered her burning arm and caught a glimpse of a few wolves not far away with fierce eyes, crouching down and staring at her with a fierce look.
Biqing held her breath and focused, staring at every move of the wolf demons.
This is the posture of a wolf capturing prey.
The burning pain grew more and more severe. Biqing didn't want to continue the stalemate with the wolf demons, so she said softly, "I have no intention of becoming your enemy. I just want to see your king. Please be kind and let me see him."
The wolf demons looked at each other and snorted.
Seeing that the wolf demons had no intention of giving way, Biqing clutched the embroidered ball tied around her waist and weakly threatened, "If you push me too far, don't blame me for being rude!"
Although I don't have the spiritual power to activate the magic weapon, I can at least pretend to be able to do it.
Several young wolf demons actually didn't move.
"With the Peace Covenant here, where do you get your spiritual power from?"
The older male wolf snorted and rushed towards Biqing like an arrow, sneering, "Are you regretting making such a selfish contract with the Demon Realm Lord who has been dead for who knows how many years?"
Biqing screamed in shock and threw the hydrangea in her hand at the wolf demon that was rushing towards her.
This movement caused a tearing pain in her arm, and her back, which had just gotten better, also felt waves of stabbing pain, as if countless sharp knives were stabbing into her back. The pain made her dizzy and she staggered back several steps.
A huge force came from the shoulder, knocking the already shaky Biqing backwards. She rolled several times and fell to the ground in a mess.
Biqing half-supported herself with her arms and vaguely saw a slightly smaller wolf walking out of the darkness and pouncing towards her.
The wolf's mouth was wide open and bottomless, which frightened Biqing so much that her eyes went dark and she fainted completely.
